What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Brief Pain Inventory Short Form (BPI-SF) Average Interference Score at 12 Weeks of Treatment
Time Frame: At 12 weeks of treatment
The BPI-SF was a self-administered questionnaire used to evaluate the severity of a study participant's pain and the impact of this pain on the study participant's daily functioning. The BPI-SF assesses for the location of pain, pain intensity and functional interference from pain. The 7 BPI-SF interference items included: general activity, mood, walking ability, normal work (including housework), relations with other people, sleep, and enjoyment of life. Each item was rated on a 0 (did not interfere) to 10 (completely interfere) scale with a recall period of 24 hours. The BPI-SF interference score ranges 0-70. Higher scores indicated greater interference.
At 12 weeks of treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) During the Study
Time Frame: From Baseline till end of Safety Follow-up (up to Week 33)
An Adverse Event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study medication, whether or not considered related to the study medication. A TEAE was defined as any AE with an onset date on or after the first dose of investigational medicinal product (IMP) in Run-In and on or before the earliest of the following: the last date of infusion (including Run-Out) +56 days, final contact date, or death. A TEAE is also defined as any unresolved event already present before administration of treatment that worsens in intensity following exposure to the treatment.
From Baseline till end of Safety Follow-up (up to Week 33)
Number of Participants With TEAEs Leading to Withdrawal of IMP
Time Frame: From Baseline till end of Safety Follow-up (up to Week 33)
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study medication, whether or not considered related to the study medication. A TEAE was defined as any AE with an onset date on or after the first dose of IMP in Run-In and on or before the earliest of the following: the last date of infusion (including Run-Out) +56 days, final contact date, or death.
From Baseline till end of Safety Follow-up (up to Week 33)
Brief Pain Inventory Short Form (BPI-SF) Average Interference Score at 24 Weeks of Treatment
Time Frame: At 24 weeks of treatment
The BPI-SF was a self-administered questionnaire used to evaluate the severity of a study participant's pain and the impact of this pain on the study participant's daily functioning. The BPI-SF assesses for the location of pain, pain intensity and functional interference from pain. The 7 BPI-SF interference items included: general activity, mood, walking ability, normal work (including housework), relations with other people, sleep, and enjoyment of life. Each item was rated on a 0 (did not interfere) to 10 (completely interfere) scale with a recall period of 24 hours. The BPI-SF interference score ranges 0-70. Higher scores indicated greater interference.
At 24 weeks of treatment
Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR) Score at 12 Weeks of Treatment
Time Frame: At 12 weeks of treatment
The Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR) was a 21-item questionnaire with a recall period of 7 days. The FIQR included 3 domains: activities, overall impact, and symptoms. Each item was based on an 11-point numeric rating scale. The FIQR total score was calculated by taking the sum of the following: Activities domain subtotal divided by 3, overall impact" domain subtotal and symptoms domain subtotal divided by 2. The total score ranged from 0 to 100, with 0 denoting the best possible condition and 100 denoting the worst possible condition. Higher scores indicated more severe impact.
At 12 weeks of treatment
Mean 7-day Average Daily Pain Score Assessed With Pain Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) at 12 Weeks of Treatment
Time Frame: At 12 Weeks of treatment
The Pain Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) was a scale in which a respondent selected a whole number that best described "How much pain have you experienced on average over the past 24 hours?" The 11-point Pain NRS ranged 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine). Mean pain scores were derived the average of the daily assessment over the past 7 days. The higher score represented worst possible pain.
At 12 Weeks of treatment
Mean 7-day Fatigue Score Assessed With Fatigue Numeric Rating Scale at 12 Weeks of Treatment
Time Frame: At 12 weeks of treatment
The Fatigue Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) was a scale in which a respondent selected a whole number that best described "How much fatigue have you experienced on average over the past 24 hours?" The 11-point Fatigue NRS ranged 0 (no fatigue) to 10 (fatigue as bad as you can imagine). Mean fatigue scores were derived the average of the daily assessment over the past 7 days. Higher score represented worst possible fatigue.
At 12 weeks of treatment

Plan for Individual participant data (IPD)

Plan to Share Individual Participant Data (IPD)?

YES

IPD Plan Description

Data from this trial may be requested by qualified researchers six months after product approval in the US and/or Europe, or global development is discontinued, and 18 months after trial completion. Investigators may request access to anonymized individual patient-level data and redacted trial documents which may include: analysis-ready datasets, study protocol, annotated case report form, statistical analysis plan, dataset specifications, and clinical study report. Prior to use of the data, proposals need to be approved by an independent review panel at www.Vivli.org and a signed data sharing agreement will need to be executed. All documents are available in English only, for a prespecified time, typically 12 months, on a password protected portal. This plan may change if the risk of re-identifying trial participants is determined to be too high after the trial is completed; in this case and to protect participants, individual patient-level data would not be made available.
